I would think that would be a costly venture. I'm not sure exactly what the specific gravities are for the two elements, but you could try it by creating a heated sloping platform of just a few degrees (maybe 10?), then start the lead/tin mixture melting at the top, and the heaver element (presumably lead) would reach the bottom first.
